Using an Electronic Dog Collar to Train Your Dog
Are you excited to start training your family dog? You may want to think about using an electronic collar, such as the Tri Tronics G2 for example. There are several methods to train your dog and this technique can prove quick and effective when used properly. Whether you are interested in eliminating negative behaviors such as jumping up and barking or you want to teach your dog commands, like how to heel, sit and stay, this remote system of dog training can lead your dog to obedience right away.
Here are some strategies for effective remote dog collar training:
1. Use the same instructions when it comes to your steps each time a new behavior is taught. If you spend the time at the beginning to design the ideal plan, you can help your dog not to be confused during the training process.
2. Break the lessons down into smaller tasks and keep them shorter. Dogs have little attention spans and they learn best when they are taught new behaviours in smaller steps.
3. The standards and methods by which you train should be the same each time because your dog will learn the best when you are consistent.
4. Keep your focus on teaching your dog one command or action at a time. He will not be able to make the connections between the collar and the command if you are too unfocused in your training process.
5. Use praise with your dog frequently and lavishly every time that he responds positively to your command.
6. If your pet seems confused by a order, simplify it so that he can feel successful. You want these training sessions to be a good event for both you and your beloved pet.
7. Do not have the Tri Tronics Upland G2 (or any collar for that matter) set at a level of intensity that is too high when you first begin training. You will need to carefully test your animal’s sensitivity to the remote collar and you should begin with it on the lowest setting.
8. Ideally you will want the introduction phase to take place in an area with as little distractions as possible. He will not be able to concentrate and learn easily if there is too much happening around him.
9. To teach your dog reliability, you will want to add in some training around distractions later on as this really more closely mimics real life situations.
10. You will want to add those distractions gradually though as opposed to too much all at once and be sure that they are not the type of distractions that will scare your dog as this can definitely work against the training.
11. When you are training in the area of the distractions, it will most likely be necessary to set the collar at a higher intensity level to get the results you are working to attain.
12. Your pet learns by repetition so you will want to repeat the orders often especially at the start of the training process.
Once your pet has a few good command successes, be sure to include play time as a part of your training time together. Always try to keep in mind that you want this time to be great for both you and your dog. The Tri Tronics Upland G2 EXP is a tool that takes your dog’s obedience skills to a whole new level. The process of remote dog training can be quick, fun and painless to implement.
